That Killed 1 Man, Injured 2

One man was killed and two others were injured after being shot in East Harlem on Tuesday morning, the New York Police Department said.

Police were searching for two men who fled in a red vehicle, a law-enforcement official said.

Officers responded to a 911 call at 2:26 a.m. for a man who had been shot outside 1991 Lexington Ave., police said. They arrived to find two men with gunshot wounds inside a 2004 Honda Accord.

The man in the passenger's seat was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to the torso, police said. The 27-year-old in the driver's seat suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and was transported to St. Luke's Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

Police said a 33-year-old man who was walking on the street suffered a gunshot wound to the left forearm. He was also in stable condition at St. Luke's.

Names for the three men were not released.

An investigation was ongoing into a motive for the shootings.

Jersey City

Police: Suspect Is Shot

After Attacking Officers

A Jersey City police officer shot a man who authorities say attacked the officer and his partner with a sharpened fence post early Tuesday.

The attack and shooting came just days after a rookie Jersey City officer was gunned down in an ambush.

According to a preliminary investigation, two officers with the emergency-services unit saw the 25-year-old suspect at about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday and ordered him to drop the post, the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office said.

Authorities said the man threw the post through a passenger-side window of the emergency-services truck, hitting an officer in the head. The man then reached through the window and grabbed the officer's rifle, authorities said. The two struggled for the rifle, which discharged through the vehicle's door and struck the suspect, officials said.

The officers exited the vehicle and ordered the man to the ground. One officer opened fire, striking the man, after authorities said the man refused to show his hands and hid a hand in his waistband.

The man was taken to a hospital and was expected to undergo surgery for non-life-threatening injuries, the prosecutor's office said.

The police officers were also being treated.

Staten Island

Grimm's June Fundraising

Well Below Challenger's

Rep. Michael Grimm raised $23,430 in June, less than one-tenth the amount his Democratic opponent raised in the month, according to federal campaign finance filings released Tuesday.

Former New York City Councilman Domenic Recchia, who is trying to unseat Mr. Grimm, raised $261,693 in June, according to documents filed with the Federal Election Commission Tuesday.

Fundraising has tapered off for Mr. Grimm, a Staten Island Republican, who was indicted in April on charges including tax fraud and hiring illegal immigrants. He has said he is innocent.

Mr. Grimm said his campaign is "absolutely on track and where we need to be."

Mr. Recchia said, "Today's filings are a reflection of the effort we will continue to pour into our volunteer-based infrastructure."
